In 2.4.9-ac10 I've been using: echo "1" > /proc/sys/vm/page_aging_tactic and the result is a much better behavior of the system. Now, with the same applications loaded, daily cron doesn't force all of my appliactions into swap (something 2.4.9 did). Now swap usage is much lower, the system seems to have a faster response to user interaction than before and "swapoff" is _much_ (maybe x10) faster than in 2.4.9. It seems that we are getting closer to a production-quality kernel :) -- José Luis Domingo López Linux Registered User #189436 Debian GNU/Linux Potato (P166 64 MB RAM) jdomingo EN internautas PUNTO org => ¿ Spam ?
